December Counseling Corner

 

 

December is seasonal depression month. Each year, millions of people struggle with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) but may not recognize the symptoms or know how to treat the disorder. SAD occurs most often among young adults but is not limited to that specific age group. For many people, SAD typically occurs in the fall and winter months due to the decrease in daylight hours. This disorder is more common in the Northern Hemisphere and in those who have a history of mental health struggles.

Symptoms of SAD include:

  • Social withdrawal
  • Loss of appetite
  • Irritability or anxiety
  • Increased sleep (hypersomnia)
  • Low energy
  • Weight gain
  • Depressed mood

 

 

Seasonal depression is quite common and if you’re experiencing symptoms, it’s important to remember that you’re not alone and there’s nothing to be ashamed of! For more information check out the link below

But God, who comforts and encourages the depressed and the disquieted, comforted us by the arrival of Titus.
